ABOUT ME

 

About Me 

My name is Zoe Blohm. I am 18 years old. I love snowboarding. I love reading. I love eating crazy bread from Little Caesars. I love the movie Titanic. At the top of the list of the things I love is Music. Music is such a big part of who I am. I live for the words "You have a good taste in music," and "Hey, Zoe do you wanna aux?" 

Picking a favorite artist is like picking a favorite Friends Character, almost impossible. However, when I really think about it the only real pop icon that I could ever honestly say is my favorite artist is Ke$ha. 

It’s pretty magical how music can take you right back to a certain time in your life. Suddenly you remember exactly how it felt to be the version of you that the song reminded you of. Ke$ha is not poetic and she is a terrible role model but when I listen Ke$ha I'm transported back to me and my dads dance parties in the living room. 

When I was eight years old my dad went through a girl pop phase. I danced my little kid heart out to Ke$ha, Britney and Lady Gaga before I could spell my name. Britney Spears and the other pop singers faded from my life and my playlists but Ke$ha never left. Ke$ha is who I listen to when I want to party my hardest and remember what it was like to dance in the living room with my dad. The kind of dancing that happens when you let go of all your insecurities and just dance like ur dumb. 

Ke$ha is my roots. She's part of the reason I love music so much and she is the only answer that feels true when answering who my favorite artist is.

THRILLER

  THRILLER Thriller is a song by the American singer Michael Jackson. The Thriller music video is considered one the most famous music videos of all time. The Thriller dance has become the world's most famous choreography. But you already knew that. You have probably already heard the song Thriller multiple times, watched the music video and you might even know the dance. Something you might not know about Thriller is that it was originally titled Starlight. Background vocals for Thriller were recorded in a shower stall. This especially noticeable in in the chorus. And it’s the only music video in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. The first time I watched the Thriller music video I was five years old. I was lying on the couch crying because my uncle had just accidentally elbowed me in the face, it’s a long story and its ends with me losing my two front teeth. 13 years after the first time I watched Thriller, I can look past the bad memories associated with it ...

BARBARY ALLEN

Image
  BARBARY  ALLEN  Barbary Allen is a narrative song, or a song that tells a story. In many ways the song Barbary Allen feels like words of a story being sang aloud instead of lyrics that were written for a song. At least it feels like that by todays definition of what a song is. Barbary Allen tells the story of William, a young man who, as he lies on his deathbed, calls out to Barbary Allen. Barbary takes her time to answer his call and when she finally meets him she treats him harshly. She reminds him of how he slighted her and says if my love is the only thing that can save you then "No better, no better you'll never be For you can't have Barbary Allen." On her journey home, she hears the "death bell knelling." She knows that it means William has died. She immediately regrets her harshness and knows she will soon die of grief herself. "Oh mother, oh mother go make my bed  Go make it lone and narrow      ...

  RAPPERS DELIGHT "Rapper's Delight" is a seven minute song. Yes, you read that right,   s e v e n   m i n u t e s   I spent 21 minutes of my life listening to "Rapper's Delight" for this blog.  And not only is it seven minutes, it is seven minutes of pure chaos.  "I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie To the hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rock It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat" "And you can be my boyfriend you surely can Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman  I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose Flyin' through the air in pantyhose  He may be very sexy or even cute   But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit" "Ever went over a friend's house to eat  And the food just ain't no good?   I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas all mushed  And the chicken tastes like wood   So you try to play it off like you think you can  By sayi...
